Big Florida Photo Shoot!

Your friend killed a white-tailed buck? We must find a good punishment then.
Really wonderful and thanks for letting me know that I still need a kingfisher.

These pumas are so good! I also prefer the grey variant.

Great poetric journey again

Wonderful pictures! Bald eagle and heron are so alive in such a beautiful background!

Day 8 - Rocky beaches

We drove to another beach that had these large rocks right at the water's edge. We woke up early the next morning to get there for low tide so we could really explore the rocks and get photos

Another fantastic location, with brilliantly set up shots, everyone looks very naturally posed and right at home there. Getting up early to time your visit to the tides is true dedication, I applaud that level of effort behind the scenes!

Oh, did you go to Jap Rocks? Cool place! (it's the only beach with rocks I can remember, unless you go further north by Jupiter to Blowing Rocks)

We drove a few minutes from our condo to Jupiter Island. On the beach there was a couple hundred feet worth of rocks. I looked up Jupiter Blowing Rocks and that location looks really pretty! Where we went the rocks looked just like that but at a much smaller scale. I'll have to remember blowing rocks if we go again

Stunning photos again! The lighting there is perfect for tropical scenes! I love them all.

Day 9! More photos of the rocks

- Hey, where did you buy your orange socks ?

It's too hard to pick just one favourite, as I scrolled down the page it was the last penguin shot, then the first booby one, and then I saw the turtles...they're just ALL good

Wonderful background for very realistic effect!

Thank you!

When I watched the first picture I thought that it looks like those beaches rockhopper penguins love. No, I am not with a penguin obsession, I already told it to my doctor.
And there are the rockhoppers. Those orange socks are out of stock now, since 2019 Rocky uses new socks.
Well, a Macaroni is not a rockhopper but it is a rock hopper. Confuse?
I must think about that sea star, they are part of my youth, of my personal life.

I didn't know they made a new paint color rockhopper, I've had mine awhile

Those sea otters and crab! Great shots again!

Stunning shots again! Wow, I can't believe how beautifully blue the sea and sky are!

Beautiful end of the first season.

The new colors are much more accurate but I also have the old one. Who could miss that funny rockhopper?

Thank you so much everyone!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I really like that new paint version Safari made of the rockhopper, I'll have to get that model too

Day 11 - Mangroves

Right after taking photos on the rocks, we walked across the street to the bay side and there were little sand paths to the water with some mangrove trees, so we decided to take some pictures there as well to get some different scenery

I really love Safari's roseate spoonbill but I never really had anywhere to photograph him, I think this was the perfect spot for him to finally get his first photos!

Then some photos of my CollectA black-faced spoonbill pair

Another wonderful birds day !

A perfect place for your spoonbill without any doubts.
Roseat is more attractive if we ignore the base. :)
